JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - (WTLV) Dressed in military fatigues and with some of his family by his side, Kyle Richert, slipped into the back door of a Jacksonville, Florida Longhorn Steakhouse with a single mission: surprise his grandmohter.

His grandmother, Shirley Campbell was completely unaware that Richert was in the United States, let alone in the same restaurant where she was. He hasn't seen her face-to-face in two-and-a-half years.

"I'm kind of nervous. I don't want to give her a heart attack," Richert said as he prepared to surprise his grandmother. "That's what I'm worried about."
